26 degrees farenheit is only 3.333c, better start knitting jumpers. fukkkkkn cold.Lights are on in the pics....
Totally fucked up earlier with the broken heater for 3 hours earlier.....

I looked through your whole thread here man, and i had some of the same problems as you just recently. I have trouble keeping my grow warm, and the medium the plants are in , as well as my water. Imho i would back off on the water big time. I worked at a very large scale hydroponic tomato farm that used nft for the plants.The building was 15 acres with a glass roof, with the biggest tomato plants you'll ever see. They watered for multiple intervals during the day, but for only 5 mins max at a time, and that's only cause they were huge plants. The root temp zone along with too much water is your problem, as it was mine. I would suggest some heat mats directly under your table, or even water proof ones directly under the rockwool slabs. I wouldn't water them again until i saw new growth and the rockwool was almost dry. They will grow in the temps you described, but very slow compared to if your high was 29 and low was 21, this is from personal experience from the last two weeks. I use a propane heater to simulate daytime temps in early/late spring for my mothers/clones, and an awesome benefit is co2 as a by-product. Oh and if anyone's wondering check out Intergrow Ltd. on google to see large scale nft at it's finest.
might stop drinking.I dont think they will be feeling very groovy if they were are 3 degrees centigrade
I wouldn't feed them again until they dry out a little. Then i would water once or twice a day, prefferably an hour or so after the lights come on. Does your sytem flood from underneath and completly saturate your rockwell? 30 mins of flooding seems to be excessive to me, Try five mins or less, that is until they get bigger, and use more, they may never though. I had an ebb and flow table that was 4'x8' and had it packed full of three inch cubes. I flooded for six mins, six times a day, with a 400 something gallon per hour pump. This was plenty and i prolly could have went every six hours instead. I had two 1000 hps above the table, and the cubes never went comepletly dry.
I currently have the NFT pumps coming on at midnight and midday for 30mins...I peeled the cover back and looked in there about 5:00pm and the cubes are completely soaked! Do you think I should try 30mins once per day? If the lights come on at midnight and then off at 8pm - midnight 20/4 what would you say is the best time to give them there feed?...as the lights come on at midnight?
Like I said before...Give em once a day, keep an eye on them through the day, and give them more if they need it. I wouldn't even use 30 minutes if it is a normal timer with 15 minute segments. The cube will only hold so much water. Maybe consider getting a timer with shorter times.....I use one of these.

Im a bit concerned about the roots that are out of the cubes and sitting on the tray/spreader matt....the tray and spreader matt would dry out within 24 hours?
